I watched a docco years ago called "little fish in deep water" i think. It was a great watch with some good footage of some featherfins and enatopius. I havn't seen it around since then though. It was an old Suzanna Carr - World Around Us special. If you manage to find is let me know as well smile.gif

merjo, I *think* there are some very slight differences but I have only a download copy of one, and scene the other only once some time ago. I may well be getting some footage confused but I *think* "Jewel of the Rift" is missing some short passages that I *think* were in "Little Fish"

As for recommendations, "Piranha: Wolves of the Water" was pretty good IMO. I haven't seen anything else specifically about fish that I thought was great.

Just watched "Jewel" last night for the first time and I must say it compared reasonably well with the original "Little fish in deep water". There were a few sections added in and a few bits left out but I would say from memory that they are 80% the same footage.

I loved the bit with the otters and the A. compressiceps hiding in the log.

I will say that I had a good laugh at Avery whats-his-name though (the commentator). His voice kept reminding me of Troy McClure (Simpsons) or Zap Brannigan (Futurama) so it was a little difficult to take him seriously. LOL.gif The LFIDW commentator was a little less.......conspicuous.
